The situation near Lake Street and Hiawatha in Minneapolis has evolved into an extremely dangerous situation. For everyone's safety, please leave the area and allow firefighters and paramedics to get to the scene.

Everyone is hurting. Anyone with an ounce of humanity is outraged by George Floyd’s killing in the hands of police. The case cries out for action, charges & justice.
— Amy Klobuchar (@amyklobuchar) May 28, 2020
But we can’t hurt each other. As a new day dawns pls listen to the Mayor re your safetyhttps://t.co/PeWfSlEChz
It is time to rebuild. Rebuild the city, rebuild our justice system, and rebuild the relationship between law enforcement and those they’re charged to protect. George Floyd’s death should lead to justice and systemic change, not more death and destruction.

This man doesn’t look like any civil rights protestor I have ever seen. Looks like a provocateur. Can anyone ID him? “Suspicious Man Breaks Window & Starts Minneapolis Riots” - YouTube https://t.co/e1lNAabWcb

We are working with @MinneapolisFire to deliver resources and respond for a beloved neighborhood in our city. We all need to work together to ensure the safety of our friends, family, and Minneapolis residents. And right now working together means clearing the area.

We have implemented a temporary nighttime curfew in Minneapolis and St. Paul in order to restore peace.
— Governor Tim Walz (@GovTimWalz) May 29, 2020
It will be in effect from 8pm-6am on Friday and Saturday night. I urge Minnesotans to comply – It’s time to rebuild our community.
The Minnesota National Guard, State Patrol, and local police are on the ground responding to incidents in Mpls-St. Paul. I urge residents to comply with 8pm curfew and go home immediately. Law enforcement needs to respond to emergencies, restore order, and keep Minnesotans safe.
— Governor Tim Walz (@GovTimWalz) May 29, 2020
A significant increase in personnel is being deployed to the 5th Precinct to help control the fire and provide support to our neighborhood. More resources being sent downtown (Nicollet).
— Mayor Jacob Frey (@MayorFrey) May 29, 2020
Minnesotans, please go home. It’s time to restore peace on our streets and in our neighborhoods. The situation has become dangerous for Minnesotans and first responders.
— Governor Tim Walz (@GovTimWalz) May 29, 2020
Minnesotans are asking for and deserve confidence that we can respond to this crisis, and we will. We are continuing to coordinate efforts at the state and local level while accessing resources from across the country to keep our communities safe. I urge for peace at this time.

Minnesota @GovTimWalz has announced the full mobilization of the @MNNationalGuard for the first time since World War II. We are "all-in" to restore order and maintain and keep the peace in Minnesota.

What started as largely peaceful protests for George Floyd have turned to outright looting and domestic terrorism in our region. We need you to stay home tonight.
— Mayor Jacob Frey (@MayorFrey) May 30, 2020
We need you to stay home tonight to be able to respond to those who are trying to loot and burn our city.
— Mayor Jacob Frey (@MayorFrey) May 30, 2020
At 8pm tonight, it is time to separate out those protesting peacefully in pursuit of justice from those who wish to undermine this movement through chaos. I urge all to respect the curfew in the Twin Cities as we take necessary action to protect the safety of our communities.
— Governor Tim Walz (@GovTimWalz) May 30, 2020
Stay safe and stay home, Minnesotans. Tonight’s curfew begins at 8p.m. and ends at 6 a.m. on Sunday. If you are home, please stay there. If you are not, make a plan to get home now. For questions on the curfew, visit https://t.co/VMWzTGkmkt pic.twitter.com/A96LsDlwo0

The emergency curfew takes effect at 8pm. Please stay home tonight.
— Mayor Jacob Frey (@MayorFrey) May 31, 2020
Action on systemic racism, accountability, and justice for George Floyd are too urgent to wait. For the sake of our city and our nation, we can't let that conversation be overshadowed by instability and chaos.
The anger and frustration we feel at this moment must be channeled into working towards a better future. For too long we have marched and protested and mourned our lost ones as the world and our allies watched on.
— NAACP (@NAACP) May 31, 2020
It’s time to stop watching and take action. #WeAreDoneDying pic.twitter.com/0blzdiOk4m
The man who drove a semi-truck into the crowd on 35W has been arrested. The state patrol is working to secure the freeway, and MPD is working to clear the scene so that first-responders can assist those who are injured. @MnDPS_DPS and @MnDOT are lead on the case.
— Mayor Jacob Frey (@MayorFrey) May 31, 2020
The curfew is now in effect. Don’t give those who would do our city harm any cover. Please head home and stay home.

Minnesotans need more than ever to lean on their neighbors, show up for their communities, and add their voice to this urgent conversation on addressing our systemic problems. Thank you for doing those things peacefully – we again ask you to plan to stay inside beginning at 10. pic.twitter.com/d7vonNcdzb

Today we visited three areas that were devastated this past week. Amid the physical damage, we saw real signs of resilience and hope. Communities have already begun to rebuild.
— Governor Tim Walz (@GovTimWalz) June 5, 2020
But there is a lot of work ahead. We must commit the resources needed to rebuild together.

Today we visited St. Paul businesses that lost generations of blood, sweat, and tears to damage in recent weeks. To them, rebuilding is about more than the storefront, it’s about maintaining their community’s vibrancy and giving back. We are are committed to rebuilding, together. pic.twitter.com/fKEiEPutCQ
